Exhausting. One of the best trip reports I've seen on this forum and they are still arguing over such stupid shit. It's ridiculous.

Ugh, guys, why is there all of this bickering that is unrelated to this trip report? @Revengeboo, thanks for an amazing report. I really enjoyed reading it!

Good to know. Thanks.

I searched the forum to try to get more information on Prime Massage. I'm wondering if the masseuses are all male. I like to get legit massages when in Bangkok, but prefer men for obvious reasons, but also women tend to make me feel uncomfortable because if it's going to go in a naughty direction, I'd much rather it be with a man, and I find some women have to work too hard on my stiff body and it ends up hurting. I prefer big, fleshy male hands (as well as other body parts)...but I digress. Can someone provide more info on Prime Massage? Why type of place is it? Any tips for a satisfying experience? I'll be staying in Silom, so it sounds like it's convenient.

This one looks like it's in the same location, but I don't remember it being called Vintage (I would have remembered that). Also, it looks like they only have one masseuse. Sorry, I may have led you all down a dead end. Wherever I went, it was fun. Great massage services plus extras. https://www.vintage92.com/

Hmmm...that doesn't look like it. Maybe I got the name wrong. It was near Shin-Okubo station. It looks like this one is in Shibuya.

One good place I found for massage was Karada Men's Spa. It's near Shinjuku, at Shin-Okubo station (on the Yamanote). I went about 5 years ago. My first time, I called from the station and someone came and met me. Hot, muscle guys who all seem to be Korean. Lots of Korean restaurants in this neighborhood, so maybe it's meant more for Koreans looking for a taste of home? My first massage was with a guy I had met at the 24 Kaikan sauna a few days before. He was really hot and let me fuck him (even though I'm more of a bottom, a really hot ass can convert me So he gave me a good massage and then we fooled around. I don't think we fucked, but he got me off somehow. The next time I went, I chose a really muscular guy, but he didn't want me to remove his underwear. He did give me a happy ending but it wasn't as good as the first. The massage is top level, totally professional. If anyone has ever been to the Ambassador in Bangkok, it reminded me of that - a real spa but with extras. I think they had a website and you could see the guys, but I can't find a link. Here's a link to info on Utopia. https://www.utopia-asia.com/tokymasa.htm

Really enjoyed your trip report! Thank you for taking the time to share. I'll be in BKK in January, and will definitely check out S'sense.

Excellent! Thank you. I will definitely do this. Do you tip the driver?

There was a good post in this forum about massage places. It shouldn't be too hard to find since there isn't much activity here. I'll be going in December. Plan on starting with Grindr. I'm interested more in the food these days than anything else!

I kind of like this idea. In my advanced years I really don't want to argue with anyone. When I first started going to BKK, there was no expressway and no meter taxis, so it was always a hassle. May I ask how you book a car service in advance?

It didn't used to be that way. I haven't been going to BKK as often and the last two times I went, I just caught a regular taxi.

I might do that. I always felt like I had some secret insider knowledge. I also never had to negotiate fares with the drivers at arrivals, but maybe it's because of the surcharge.

Years ago, when I was going to BKK regularly, I used to go up to arrivals and catch a taxi that was dropping someone off. They seemed to be cheaper, but it was a while ago, and now I don't remember why I was doing that 🤔

I'm getting ready to go back to Bangkok in January, after several years away. I've always taken a taxi to from the airport - even back when there were no meter taxis and the whole thing was super annoying. And there was no expressway, so it took forever. (Yeah, I'm that old.) I'm wondering if it still makes sense to take a taxi. Personally, if it's not a whole lot more in price, and it means I get to just sit and enjoy the ride, wouldn't a taxi be better? Or is there some reason why I should avoid taxis?

Thanks. What would be a reasonable amount?

My visa didn't state any points of entry/departure. I wonder if this still matters. They do ask on the application, but it is not on the visa. Several people on a FB group I'm following are asking about this.

Thank you for sharing this. The process was simple. I got a multiple entry visa for $50. Applied on a Friday and my visa was approved the following Wednesday. I did freak out a little because I couldn't remember my registration number or whatever it was they gave me after I completed the application. But then I found a photo of it on my phone and also an email they sent me that I put in my "travel" folder. LOL - is it old age or smoking too much pot? Anyway, the process was easy. Seems like you used to have to go to a consulate for a multiple-entry visa, but I'm glad I was able to do it all online.

I'm heading to Vietnam in December - Ho Chi Minh City and Ha Noi. I'd love to hire a guide in each place for a day, so I will definitely be in touch. Can you advise on tipping? Are tips expected? If so, what's a normal range?

I met quite a few tops in Taipei. Not moneyboys. I met one guy with a huge cock. We fucked each other. Taiwanese guys are very hot.

I'd also add Medellin. The guys were really hot and readily available. I met quite a few on Grindr. I had many more offers than I took advantage of. Also Mileroticos. There are love motels if you don't want to bring them back to your place. Definitely a sex paradise.

A beautiful place to go and just relax.

Hi guys. I just decided I want to go to Ho Chi Minh City in December. It will be my first time in Vietnam, and after peeking around a bit, I'm very excited. Grindr looks promising, and I can't wait to eat! There doesn't seem to be any current information here on the scene, however you interpret that (your personal scene). Can anyone share any information, tips, or whatever? I know it's a vague request, so if it helps, I'm interested in any tips about district to stay (I'm looking at an Airbnb in District 1), safety of hiring MBs from Grindr, massage venues, and anything else you consider a must-do (or must not do) while there.

Sorry, I don't come here often these days. Yes, the app is Motel Now

I think HIV changed things too. I lived in Tokyo from 1989-95. I was 29 when I arrived and hot. I did meet some guys, but many would not have anything to do with me. I even heard from other Asians that Japanese didn't want anything to do with them when they found out they were not Japanese. Still, there were so many cruising areas and it was a lot of fun.
